I remember the day before, it was super super hot! and when i went out to the parade, i went out thinking, oh ill just wear some sorts and sandals. next thing you know... it started pouring, i felt i was in the shower!

@jaybee2425460 I know what you mean- It was really hot for a week leading up to Bastille day and the rain just happened to arrive on the 14th. The fireworks were beautiful though! Well worth the wait and getting caught in the rain!

Thank you for the song list! I've been looking for it for over a year!! I was in Paris with my parents for Bastille Day 2010. I couldn't see anything except the feathers on the caps of the soldiers on horses--I'm too short! But we did see the fireworks. They were absolutely incredible!

I was studying in Paris around this time, so I had the chance to see it for myself. I think those fireworks were one of the most pretty things I've ever seen. I LOVED it..-getting back by metro afterwards, not so much ;)

I was there, it was a rainy day but the fireworks show was by far the best I've seen in my life. It was so good myself and my fiance said we plan to go back to Paris every year for Bastille Day
